If I set a Font Size explicitly in the Footnote Anchor character style, then that overrides proper automatic sizing of the anchor in disparate paragraph styles, so that in paragraph styles with smaller fonts, the footnote anchors end up being too large and messing with the proper line spacing, etc. When this has occurred, I notice that it is possible to use the "Reset to Parent" button in the Footnote Anchor character style's Font tab, and then to subsequently again select the desired font (which in my case is automatically set to Arial, upon using Reset to Parent) in that same tab, WITHOUT explicitly selecting a Font Size (i.e., the Size setting must be ignored). That corrective process is NOT obvious and NOT intuitive at all. There needs to be a way to choose Automatic for the Size, without having to use Reset to Parent, so that the extra and non-intuitive subsequent step of again selecting the desired Font, etc., may be avoided. I don't know about other attributes in this regard, as I'm only reporting the particular problem I've encountered, and which befuddled me quite a bit until I stumbled upon the above process. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
